Rear axle lubricants do not need to be checked or changed unless a

leak is suspected, service is required or the axle assembly has been
submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed any time the
rear axle has been submerged in water. Fill 1/4 inch to 9/16 inch (6 mm
to 14 mm) below bottom of fill hole. Add 4 oz. (118 ml) of Additive
Friction Modifier XL–3 or equivalent meeting Ford specification
EST-M2C118–A for complete refill of Traction-Lok axles.

determine the correct service interval.

Service refill capacity is determined by filling the transmission to the

bottom of the filler hole with the vehicle on a level surface.
